Institute of Complex Systems (ICS)

The Institute of Complex Systems (ICS) studies how functions of biological and chemical systems emerge from the properties and interactions of the underlying units. We focus on soft functional macromolecules and complexes, as well as on biological macromolecules and their roles in cell and cell network function. Our goal is to develop novel and improved materials and new knowledge-guided approaches for the prevention or treatment of human diseases.

Winter School on
Motile Active Matter: Nanomachines, Microswimmers, and Swarms

Motile active matter spans a wide rage of systems and phenomena, from synthetic nano- and micromachines, biological nano- and microswimmers, to cell dynamics and locomotion, and their swarm behavior. About 25 hours of lectures cover experimental, simulation, and theoretical techniques, and reach from relevant background knowledge to state-of-the-art results.
